If you know a day ahead what the half hourly prices are going to be you could adjust to that information. But if you are working away from home or just galivanting, then it will not make much difference. If appliances become intelligent enough to switch on and off automatically then that theoretically could work, but the difference between theory and practice is often huge.
Battery storage at home seems the most practical beneficiary - so powering the home consumption from the battery most of the day and charging it at night using less expensive power. For me a capacity of 5 kWh (i.e. my average daily consumption plus a margin) would suffice and if that fell short some days I could use mains electricity to supplement. This seems a practical way forward. Whether the economics make sense I've yet to discover.
